3. Insert your finger into the large hole in the base and turn it clockwise, while steadily holding the mandrel and wire in the other hand.

4. Once the wire is coiled, remove it from the base and cut it with the Beadalon Flush Cutter.

5. Now you can make the right sized jump rings in the colors and plating you choose - any time you want!
